consideration. The selected works receive multiple performances at venues
across the globe and may be featured on the highlights CD which is sent to
numerous radio stations.

venue
as a program framework, which may then be supplemented by locally-produced
material.

the
year. It is easy for you to host a leg of this international festival: simply

mix
it up with student work or live performers and you have a show.

that singles are living by rules created by the minority married
society and we need to look at the reality of living today
instead of just trying to fit into an outdated mold. We wish to
impress on businesses the reality of who the consumers are,
namely mostly singles, and that their advertising needs to be
slanted towards singles and their needs instead of the "nuclear"
family which is only 10% of the population. Of course they need
a classy, clean, healthy environment to do that, namely The
Singles Center, and our online and print magazines. This is a
personally funded entrepreneurial adventure at present but as the
business grows, full-time Editor and Staff writer positions will
be created." (Info rec'd Wed.Apr.23, confirmed Apr.24)

Alexandria Digital Literature
Kathy Ice, Executive Editor. 701 5th Avenue, 43rd Floor, Ste.
4380, Seattle, WA 98104. Online publisher of speculative fiction
of all lengths. "We are currently looking to buy wide-area
network distribution rights of previously published works. We are
especially interested in shorter fiction, and in works that are
no longer in print. For exclusive wide-area network distribution
rights, we pay a royalty of 25% of the retail price; for
non-exclusive rights the rate is 10%. Authors receive a 5%
royalty bonus if they waive the advance (bumping the rates to 30%
and 15% respectively). The advance is 1/2c/wd if the author
chooses to take it. Because electronic publishing is such a new
field, and because Alexandria's approach is in many ways unique,
we strongly suggest that authors contact us for further
information before submitting (or deciding not to submit)."

following GLs: (a) There are no limitations with regard to
setting. Time of setting may be historical, contemporary or
futuristic (b) Plots may be general romance or may include
suspense, mystery, or intrigue (c) There are no age restrictions
on the couple. Romances can range from young adult romances to
twilight romances. There are no restrictions on previous
relationship. (d) There are no racial or ethnic restrictions on
the couple. We welcome diversity as long as the portrayal of the
race or ethnic groups are realistic and non-stereotypical. (e)
Because of the short length of the story, we discourage a love
scene unless it is vital to the story. (f) The story should end
on a positive note. That does not necessarily mean that the
couple ends up together and lives happily ever after. It may mean
that the heroine realizes she is better off without the hero or
vica versa. (g) In order to avoid the feel of a 'true confession'
we encourage the author to write the story in third person.
However, if he/she does write it in the 1st person and it works,
it may be accepted." Length: max 2000 words; pays $35 on

Cedar Bay Press, a limited liability company, is an international
publisher and producer working for artists and authors to publish,
package, market, and merchandise their work.
About Book and Multimedia Publishing . . .
Cedar Bay Press, LLC, offers opportunities not provided by mass
market paperback or hardback publishers. Novel length fiction is
either serialized or first released in a digital book format. Our terms
are simple: you keep all the rights. Our royalties are the highest in
the industry: 80% of net sales.
A serialized novel is a multi-chapter paperback book series released
in two to five parts depending on length. The cover price is well-below
that of a mass market paperback or about $3.95 on average. A two part
serial could net on retail $7.90 and a five part novel about $15.60. This
can translate into a much higher percentage than that offered by
conventional mass market paperback or hardback publishers.
Poetry ChapBooks: We publish poetry collections that meet a high
standard of creativity. We strongly urge you to read one of our
chapbooks to see the quality we are looking for:
ISBN 1-57555-136-5 The Cowboy State or ISBN 1-57555-137-3 The

THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT PUBLISHING
In North America there are about 35 publishers who dominate 100%
of the traditional retail book shelves. If you want warm and fuzzy and
you want your title next to Stephen King or Daniel Steele in a retail outlet
you’ll have to see those publishers who own the shelves. Who are they?
Go to the paperback section of your favorite discount store, find the type of
book your manuscript is competing for and look at the copyright page where
you’ll find the publisher information. Most of the 35 publishers are on the
net and provide guidelines for submissions.
If you still can’t get published then try the 1,000+ independent publishers or
alternative presses.
